| Challenge | Proposed Solution |
|---|---|
| Reliable optical contact on hairy chest | – Use a sensor housing that parts hair and presses the optics against skin (spring-loaded cover or adhesive patch).– Swap to a reflectance PPG module with flexible sensor face, e.g. MAX30112. |
| Insufficient runtime on CR2032 | – Move to a rechargeable Li-Po: e.g. a 3.7 V 200 mAh Li-Po cell (search) plus a charger IC like MCP73831.– Use a buck-boost converter to regulate to 1.8 V and step up for BLE peaks. |
| Motion artifacts | – Add a 3-axis accelerometer (e.g. ADXL345) and implement motion-compensation filtering in firmware.– Dynamically adjust LED drive currents and averaging to reject spikes. |
| Lack of enclosure/ingress protection | – Design an IP67-rated silicone overmold or two-piece ABS/PET housing with gasket.– Conformal-coat the PCB and pot critical areas to resist sweat and dust. |
| Suboptimal BLE antenna and range | – Replace module antenna with a purpose-tuned 2.4 GHz chip antenna (e.g. 2.4 GHz Chip Antenna) plus keep-out zone per datasheet.– Route a ground clearance area around antenna. |
| No offline data buffering | – Add low-power serial FRAM or NOR-Flash, e.g. FM24CL64, to log data when out of BLE range. |
| Equine-specific calibration | – Develop calibration curves on live horses (bench test) and store lookup tables in firmware.– Expose user-selectable calibration profiles via BLE DFU for field tuning. |
| Component count & power overhead | – Consolidate to a single BLE + MCU SoC such as nRF52840, which supports PPI for sensor timing and low-power modes, eliminating external regulator and level-shift parts. |
Ready.
